    Rarely has a film impacted an audience and held the test of time as the film Gone with the Wind. I have always been curious if director, Victor Fleming and producer, David O. Selznick and screenplay writer, Sidney Howard knew what they were creating a masterpiece and how this film would have such an enormous impact on audiences for years to come. Interestingly enough there were some who thought the film should not be made, as Irving Thalberg said to Louis B. Meyer in 1936, “Forget it Louis, no Civil War picture ever made a nickel” (Ten Films that Shook the World). This romantic melodrama was released in January, 1940, yet it was at the 1939 Academy Awards that Gone with the Wind was nominated for thirteen awards, the eight awards that were won were Best Picture, Director, Actress, Supporting Actress, Screenplay, Color Cinematography, Art Direction, and Editing (Ten Films that Shook the World). ”If the total income for Gone with the Wind were to be adjusted for inflation, it would be considered the most successful of all time” (Ten Films that Shook the World). When you think of “Gone with the Wind” from a film criticism standpoint, it’s hard to judge it by the Auteur Theory, which states that the director is supreme overlord of a films artistic merit because in the case of Gone with the Wind, Fleming takes a back seat to Selznick. The film chronicles the grandeur and splendor of the Old South, how it crumbles during the Civil War and the New South during reconstruction. The characters are basically simple folk living a simple life until their world is shattered by the Civil War and this devastation creates a new world, one which will require courage and resilience to survive. Selznick genius in the aspects of cinematography lighting, sound, costumes and societal impact and genre…

    Jenn Fang portrays Orientalism as "the way that the West perceives of -and thereby defines- the East" (Fang 3), and it is similar to The Slanted Screen by Jeff Adachi, that Asian were dominants by Western in the movie industries. When Asian are given parts in tv and film, those parts often maintain the stereotypical ideology which has been prevailing for quite a long time by Western. Asian American stereotypes in these media range from martial arts or bad guys, often set forth a wrong impression of what Asian Americans resemble.…

    Number Five: “Sweet Home Alabama” by by Lynyrd Skynyrd.This is probably the only song that Hollywood knows that reminds us about the South and when the character is a backwards country hick. Ironically used in Con-Air when the convicts dance and Steve Buscemi’s character comments “A bunch of idiots dancing on a plane, to a song made famous by a band that died in a plane crash.” Forrest Gump invited Jenny to dance with this song during a rainstorm at his Alabama home.…

    Hollywood Film Analysis

    This essay will take an in-depth look at the history of Hollywood during the late 60s and early 70s. This period of time is considered to have been a renaissance for American cinema, and was titled the ‘New Hollywood’ by cotemporary critics of the time. In order to understand the changes that Hollywood went through the late ‘60s, you first have to examine the preceding era of Hollywood filmmaking during the 30s and 40s. This was a period that is commonly referred to as Hollywood’s Golden Age; when the dream factories were in full swing and the audiences were in regular attendance. This period of time could be defined by a number of social, political or economic contexts, but it’s the filmmaking practices that were employed at the time which…

    One aspect of Laramie that strikes me is how peaceful, and free the town is, for example one of the characters states, “But you’d have to be out of your mind to let your kids out after dark. And here, in the summertime, my kids play out at night till eleven, and I don’t think twice about it” (Kaufman 7). This text portrays Laramie’s peacefulness, because here the character explains how he does not “think twice” about letting his kids play outside in the dark. One moment that I find interesting about Laramie is how one of the character tells his story about his desire to go to college for theatre, and his parents could not afford the tuition, so the boy signs up for a scholarship, and wins, but his parents did not support him throughout his significant experience. Another aspect that is interesting to me is how the play is written as a documentary that you would see on television, but in written form. So far, my early impression of the play is that it is overwhelming, due to Kaufman’s writing style. I am not enjoying how there are so many characters that share their stories, and experiences towards that town because all of the encounters are overwhelming, as well as the numerous amount of characters.…
